It felt like Christmas in our Anatomy and Physiology class today!
A huge THANK YOU to Professor Klein and his teaching assistants from Ohio University for the generous donation. These models will really help make learning more tangible and engaging. Professor Klein generates revenue from making educational video clips on social media. He uses the revenue to give back to local high schools by donating anatomy models. We are so appreciative and excited to start learning more about these muscles, bones, and organs that each model represents.
